Thanks Miss B!

Leaf Options Purples sort of going for a Pin stripe that is caused by the tulip plant virus.

No bumps, specs or displacement on any of the images.

Might have this set for a later date at some point rather on the Gothic side.

These will be in the Sweet Deals section for Halloween hopefully. I also have a tulip set for those Dark and Gothic styles. 3 textures 1 leaf/stem option.

I'm sort of working with the specular setting to kind of get a glowing effect, but not sure if it will work in Poser and I probably will lighten up the leaves.

I totally love that orange and black texture!!!!Hope its ready before Halloween. The flower shapes themselves remind me of beautiful stylized flowers from tapestries.
Which engine are you rendering in?

To make things "glow" in poser, you might try using ambient.
Ah!! Thanks for the tip ! I will absolutely give that a try!! Do you also think the ToonID might help as well to give it rather a shine when rendering?

Iray has the emissive setting, but I haven't gotten to the Iray version yet.

This particular one is Daz 3DL. I haven't had a chance to set the Iray version yet and work with the Poser ones.

Cool and thanks on that!! I thought it was kind of interesting my mom has some petunias that are kind of similar except they are black/dark purple and white.
I will see what I can do about it, but probably Octoberish. I also have a tulip set that should be out around that time also. I will have to post some renders of them when I get a chance.

Rae just got finished testing my TB horse morphs and I've been cleaning up a few corrections and re-saving translations almost done, and also beta testing Bees Knees for Pommerlis and Primitive and Caveman for Rae for Dusk's Loincloth and Tribal Ornaments. You guys are going to love both of these sets!

I don't know anything about Toon rendering or settings, so I can't help you with that.

I will most likely get the Halloween Bell Flowers done first and then this set, but will have to see.

These I have split up so that there will be 3 textures and 1 leaf texture 1 stamen texture for the sweet deals section. They can also be mixed and matched. I'm still laying down the rest of the Iray mats and sorting out the leaves for each of the sets. I just have the Daz set done so far, but will also include the Poser versions.

3DL and Iray Grouping Called Passion Storm

Grouping Called Eclipsing Twilight a little dark and Gothic!

That dark embrace- drop dead gorgeous. And the leaves in these are also wonderful. So many 3 d flowers forget about the leaves !

Thanks! I'm still hashing on the leaves! There will probably be a dark and light set and then something in between, but I will probably switch out the texture maps. I like the effect when it's mixed with the black in the eclipsing twilight set.

I have the Bell flower set almost ready for testing for both Daz and Poser. I just need to do the readme!

I especially like that you've given the leaves a feel of that kind of dusty blue overlaying the green, that my tulip leaves have. Really fantastic work.

Thanks!!

I really had to research that and then try to recreate it. Lots of ref images from all angles!!

These are the Daz version so hoping the Poser one wont be too much of a pain to get them to look that way. I think I used the skin lighting model on them. I will have to play more with that in the future.
